The City of Montgomery joined forces with the Montgomery Humane Society earlier this year to enter Montgomery in the competition and to solidify a place and design plan for the park if the city should win.

Many are using Facebook to help advance the city to first place, and they're asking everyone to vote once a day to improve standings. Many Montgomery dog owners have also come forward on the competition website to discuss the perks the park could bring.

"The people and pups of Montgomery would benefit greatly from a dog park. We need a place where our dogs can safely play, socialize, and exercise off leash. I also believe that a dog park will foster a sense of community among the residents of Montgomery," said Annie, a PetSafe website commenter.

"Montgomery is a city of dog lovers; however, Montgomery has a leash law and today, there is no place, outside of their own backyards, that our dog owners can legally take their dogs to run and play off leash," said commenter Jo P. " It would not only give Montgomery dogs opportunity to experience the joy of safely running free, but would also provide our dog owners with a great venue for walking and jogging with their pets."

According to the campaign video, the park would be located near the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and feature two separate areas for large and small dogs to play.
